deleted file

[nichole]

I did a virus scan and deleted an infected file called
msjava.dll. Now i get a message when I turn on my
computer saying, "QBDagent2001.exe cannot run without
this file. Is there any way to retrieve this online?
I'm not even sure what this is.

What was the name of the virus it found with that file?
Take that virus name, go to www.symantec.com and click
on "Security Response" and find your virus. Then download
the removal tool and you'll be all set.

It is part of the MSoft Virtual Machine for Java. Under a court ruling
in the lawsuit by Sun, this is no longer available as a download from
Microsoft, but there MS produced a Java that extends the language as
defined by Sun, so that it would 'work better' with Windows. This was
not included in windows XP, but you can still get a 3805 or 3809 build
from some sites that are *not* MSoft sites - and MSoft is not going to
object.
eg 3805 from Http://www.bigblackglasses.com/staff/downloads/msjavx86.exe

Once you have such an older version you can get the 816093 'critical
security update' which is effectively a complete build, 3810 to ensure
you are up to date
